Back to Basics. Bath bombs by Jane.

It is school holidays in Australia so this is a good time to post a nice activity to do with kids.  This is something that might add to your present cupboard too.   Thank you Jane!   Thank you also to Jane's son who didn't mind being photographed with his girls, Janes gorgeous Grand daughters.xxx

How to Make Bath Bombs. 

Step one- Gather your ingredients and some cute helpers.

  

You will need

• 1 cup of Bicarb Soda (Baking Soda)
• ½ cup Cornflour (Corn Starch)
• ½ cup Citric Acid
• ¾ tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 teaspoons Essential oil or perfumed oil
• Food colouring

Step two

In a large bowl add the Bicarb and the cornflour. Mix together with a spoon.

 

Step three

Get a small jar

Add the water, oil, Essential or perfumed oil and a few drops of food colouring. Shake vigorously.

  

Step four

 Make a well in the center of the bicarb and cornflour. Pour in the oil mix. Cover with the powders.

 

 Step five

Add the citric acid.

Step six

 Use your hands and mix all the ingredients together. It is a dry feeling mix. You really need to scrunch the mix together. Use your muscles for this step.

 Step seven. 

Push the mix into moulds. We have used a silicone cake mould here.

Step eight

When the mix has dried off, gently push the bath bombs out of the moulds. We were a bit excited by this step and were not as gentle as we could have been.

 

Your bath bombs are now ready to use. Enjoy these smelly, fizzy bath treats. 

Thanks so much Jane.   In a week I will have my Grand daughters here.  I always like to have plenty of actives lined up and they love making things.

See you on Friday! xxx
